I'm the co-author of that note, so I'm all too familiar with it. :-)

At the moment, it shouldn't be possible to request html from
rdaregistry.info without getting redirected to www.rdaregistry.info (hosted
on github using github pages). Although I'm doing a minimal job of checking
the HTTP Accept header.

I'm deeply embarrassed (really) by the fact that the redirect is not a 303
and that it may not be consistent. As well as by the fact that it doesn't
return the requested fragment (which I still believe is best practice). So,
yeah, as soon as I get back from the ALA Midwinter conference (sooner if I
can get some meeting-free time). I'll at least get a 303 redirect header in
there (still learning nginx).

Cheers!
